Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of immune sensor technology, specifically to a Gd MOF composite material, an immune sensor, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) refers to the process by which active materials on the electrode surface or in solution undergo a series of redox reactions under the influence of an applied voltage, generating an excited-state luminescent material. When this excited state returns to the ground state, energy is released in the form of photons, thus achieving optical signal output. Because it does not require an external excitation source, ECL has advantages such as low background, high sensitivity, good controllability, and high spatiotemporal resolution, and has been widely used in fields such as bioanalysis, environmental monitoring, food safety, and clinical diagnostics.
[0003] As a key component of the ECL system, the performance of the luminescent material directly determines the sensitivity, stability, and selectivity of the sensing platform, and therefore has been extensively studied by researchers. Classical luminescent materials include ruthenium bipyridine and its derivatives, luminol, quantum dots, semiconductors, and metal nanoclusters. It is well known that lanthanide materials possess excellent optical properties such as long luminescence lifetime, large Stokes shift, and high quantum yield, and some lanthanide metals have been extensively studied as "star elements."
[0004] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of highly crystalline and porous materials composed of metal ions or metal clusters linked to organic ligands. They possess characteristics such as large surface area, high framework flexibility, tunable porosity, and customizability, and have been widely applied in gas separation and adsorption, luminescence, chemical catalysis, drug delivery, chemical sensing, energy storage, and conversion. Lanthanide MOFs combine the advantages of both, with the luminescent properties of lanthanide ions and the tunable topology of MOFs laying the foundation for the development of luminescent materials with specific applications.
[0005] Based on this, lanthanide MOFs can be used to construct unique ECL sensing platforms. Many related sensors have been developed and reported in the literature for detecting cations, anions, small molecules, biomolecules, and explosive chemicals. For example, 3D lanthanide MOFs (Tb MOFs) are used as the core material for luminescent sensors to detect paraquat, and this material exhibits strong water stability and resistance to acids and alkalis. Even in harsh environments with common pollutants, it can rapidly detect paraquat in the environment and agricultural products with high sensitivity and selectivity. Another example is the dual-emission lanthanide metal-organic framework (Eu... 0.07 Gd 0.03For example, the ECL behavior of metal-organic frameworks with Eu as the central atom / ion has opened up new possibilities for the application of lanthanide MOF materials in the ECL field. Furthermore, a novel luminescent metal-organic framework, named Ce-TCPP-LMOF, was designed using the emerging ECL material (4,4',4",4‴-(porphyrin 5,10,15,20-tetramethyl)tetrabenzoic acid) as an organic ligand and Ce(III) as a metal node, showing promising application prospects. In addition, a signal-amplifying ECL sensor chip has been developed using Ce(III, IV) MOF as a co-reaction promoter in the isoluminol-dissolved oxygen system for the sensitive analysis of procalcitonin.
[0006] Although there have been ECL studies on Eu, Tb, and Ce-based Ln-MOFs, gadolinium (Gd), as a lanthanide ion, has not yet been publicly reported in the ECL field for its MOF materials. Therefore, developing ECL sensing systems with Gd-MOFs as the core luminescent material or functional promoter can not only fill the technological gap in this area but also break through the current bottlenecks in sensitivity and selectivity, providing a new generation of high-performance ECL platforms for environmental monitoring, bioanalysis, and medical diagnostics.

[0145] Detection and Analysis
[0146] 1) Characterization of Cu:Gd MOF
[0147] Elemental analysis was performed on the Gd MOF prepared in S2 and the Cu:Gd MOF prepared in S3 of Example 1 using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the Gd MOF prepared in S2 of Example 1. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to analyze the Gd MOF prepared in S2 of Example 1. The results are as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.
[0148] from Figure 2 As shown in A and B, Gd MOFs mainly consist of three elements: Gd, O, and C. Specifically, the satellite peaks appearing at 143.15 eV and 148.78 eV correspond to Gd 4d⁻¹, respectively. 5 / 2 and Gd 4d 3 / 2 And the Gd in the material is mainly composed of Gd 3+ The existence of Gd MOF in its current form demonstrates the successful synthesis of Gd MOF.
[0149] from Figure 2 As can be seen from C, Gd MOFs exhibit a tightly packed and smooth spherical morphology. Figure 2 The D image further reveals details of the microsphere, which is approximately 200 nm in size. From Figure 2 TEM characterization analysis of the E-molecules revealed that the Gd MOF is a hollow structure with a morphology similar to small bubbles.
[0150] from Figure 3 As shown in A and B, Cu doping of Gd MOF results in the appearance of copper in the XPS overall spectrum, and the binding energy positions of the Gd 4d orbitals show a significant shift compared to the undoped state. Further investigation of the fine spectrum of copper reveals… Figure 3As can be seen from C, the satellite peaks appearing at 935.16 eV and 954.74 eV correspond to Cu 2p, respectively. 3 / 2 and Cu2p 1 / 2 Furthermore, strong oscillating satellite peaks appeared at 945 and 965 eV, indicating that its valence state may be divalent. Further Auger spectrum testing was conducted, such as... Figure 3 As shown in Figure D, the least squares fitting method reveals a peak at 917.92 eV, indicating that copper is indeed present in the form of Cu. 2+ .
[0151] Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to analyze the ligand 5-aminoisophthalic acid (5-AIPA), the Gd MOF prepared in Example 1 before and after doping, and the Cu:Gd MOF. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the Cu:Gd MOF prepared in S3 of Example 1. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was used to perform elemental analysis of the Cu:Gd MOF prepared in S3 of Example 1. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
[0152] from Figure 4 A comparison of the infrared spectra of the ligand (5-AIPA) and the materials before and after doping (Gd MOF and Cu:Gd MOF) in Figure A shows that the characteristic absorption peaks did not change significantly, but the characteristic peaks after doping showed a slight red shift. Figure 4 As shown in B, copper doping increases the size of the microspheres, causes them to fracture noticeably, and results in a rougher surface. EDS elemental analysis was performed as follows: Figure 4 As shown in Figure C, the composite material contains four elements: Cu, Gd, C, and O, which are evenly distributed. This further proves the successful synthesis of MOF material and the successful doping of Cu.
[0153] 2) Photoluminescence properties of Cu:Gd MOF
[0154] The UV-Vis absorption spectra of the ligand 5-aminoisophthalic acid (5-AIPA), the Gd MOFs prepared in Example 1 before and after doping, and the Cu:Gd MOFs were measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The fluorescence excitation and emission spectra of the Gd MOFs prepared in Example 1 before and after doping, and the Cu:Gd MOFs were measured using a fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown.
[0155] from Figure 5Analysis of the UV-Vis absorption spectra of 5-AIPA shows a distinct absorption peak at 325 nm. The characteristic absorption peak of Gd MOF formed with 5-AIPA as a ligand is blue-shifted to 315 nm, which can be attributed to the π-π* absorption of the benzene ring in the ligand. The characteristic peak of Cu:Gd MOF further shows a slight blue shift (to 310 nm), presumably due to the influence of Cu doping.
[0156] from Figure 5 Analysis of spectra B and C reveals a strong emission peak in the broad band of 360–480 nm within the Gd MOF at an excitation wavelength of 315 nm. Based on similar spectra of the same ligands described in previous studies, this is speculated to be attributed to the fluorescence emission of the ligands, i.e., the π←π* transition occurring on the aromatic ring of the ligands. Furthermore, a small peak appears near 590 nm, which, according to previous reports of other lanthanides, may correspond to an intra-electron transition of the ion. Monitoring the excitation spectrum of Cu:Gd MOF shows a broad band, without the narrow maximum value observed due to the intra-electron excitation of Gd(III). This implies that the emission from the Gd(III) center preferentially occurs through ligand absorption; the excited ligand transfers energy to Gd(III), sensitizing it to emit light—an antenna effect. Figure 5 As can be seen from C, Cu:Gd MOF has two emission peaks at an excitation wavelength of 310 nm, with positions shifted to 380 ~ 450 nm and 600 ~ 650 nm, respectively. The emission peak in the 600 ~ 650 nm range is relatively stronger, indicating the sensitization effect of Cu.
[0157] 3) Characterization of CuO@In2O3
[0158] X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to analyze the CuO@In₂O₃ prepared in Example 3, the CuO prepared in Control Example 1, and the In₂O₃ prepared in Control Example 2. Elemental analysis was performed on the CuO@In₂O₃ prepared in Example 3 using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the Cu MOF prepared in S3, CuMOF@In MOF prepared in S4, and CuO@In₂O₃ prepared in S5 of Example 3. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to analyze the CuO@In₂O₃ prepared in S5 of Example 3. EDS elemental analysis was performed on the CuO@In₂O₃ prepared in Example 3 using a combination of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results are as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown.
[0159] from Figure 6As can be seen from A and B, the diffraction peaks of the synthesized CuO at 32.5°, 35.5°, 38.7°, and 48.6° correspond to the (110), (002), (111), and (-202) crystal planes in the standard card (PDF#80-1917), respectively. The In2O3 exhibits distinct diffraction peaks at 21.5°, 30.6°, 35.5°, 51.0°, and 60.7°, which are attributed to the (211), (222), (400), (440), and (622) crystal planes (PDF#71-2194), respectively. Furthermore, the XRD pattern of the composite material CuO@In2O3 simultaneously shows the strongest characteristic peaks of both pure substances, thus proving the successful synthesis of the material.
[0160] At the same time, from Figure 6 The elemental composition of the CuO@In2O3 composite material in C also confirms the successful synthesis of the material. Specifically, from Figure 6 As can be seen from D, the Cu 2p orbit can be divided into two satellite peaks, corresponding to Cu 2p 3 / 2 (933.01 eV) and Cu 2p 1 / 2 (952.73 eV). The graph shows three strong oscillating peaks, further confirming that Cu's valence state is indeed +2. Meanwhile, from... Figure 6 As can be seen from E, the satellite peaks of In at 444.39 eV and 451.94 eV correspond to its 3d E values, respectively. 5 / 2 and 3D 3 / 2 The orbit, its existence form is In 3+ .from Figure 6 From F, we can see that the fine spectrum of the O 1s orbital has peaks around 529 eV and 531 eV, indicating that the O element is represented by O. 2- It exists in the form of, but with different metal ions (Cu). 2+ and In 3+ Coordination is performed.
[0161] The morphology of the material was further characterized using SEM. Figure 7 As can be seen from A, the synthesized Cu MOF possesses a complete octahedral structure with a smooth surface and sharp edges. From Figure 7 As can be seen from B, in the further synthesized Cu MOF@InMOF, In MOF grows along its outer surface, the octahedrons are clearly covered, and the surface roughness is significantly increased. From Figure 7 As can be seen from C, further calcination yields an octahedron with a certain degree of collapse, consisting of a layered structure, which is CuO@In2O3. Figure 7 As can be seen from D, the internal structure and details of CuO@In2O3 material can be analyzed and calculated using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, such as... Figure 7 As shown in E, distinct lattice spacings of CuO and In2O3 are obtained, which are 0.25 nm and 0.29 nm, respectively, corresponding to the (002) crystal plane of CuO and the (222) crystal plane of In2O3. Furthermore, from... Figure 7 The presence and distribution of Cu, In, and O observed in the EDS mapping spectrum of F fully demonstrate the successful synthesis of CuO@In2O3 material.
[0162] 4) Investigation on the catalytic performance of CuO@In2O3
[0163] The glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was polished with alumina powder, and then 10 µL of a 0.8 mg / mL solution was dropped onto the electrode surface. -1 The CuO aqueous solution prepared in Example 1 was used to modify the electrode surface with a single layer, and then incubated at 4 °C for 2 h. After modification, the electrode surface was rinsed with PBS solution (pH 7.4) to remove unbound substances, and the CuO electrode was obtained.
[0164] The glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was polished with alumina powder, and then 10 µL of a 0.8 mg / mL solution was dropped onto the electrode surface. -1 The CuO@In2O3 aqueous solution prepared in Example 3 was used to modify the electrode surface as a monolayer. Then, it was incubated at a temperature of 4 °C for 2 h. After modification, the electrode surface was rinsed with PBS solution (pH 7.4) to remove unbound substances, thus obtaining the CuO@In2O3 electrode.
[0165] An ECL immunosensor was constructed using Ag / AgCl and Pt as the reference and counter electrodes, respectively, and the aforementioned CuO and CuO@In2O3 electrodes as the working electrodes. The sensors were then tested at 5.0 mmol / L... -1 Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was performed in a K3[Fe(CN)6] solution with the following parameters set: scan rate of 25 ~ 225 mV s. -1 (n = 3). The results of cyclic voltammetry (CV) testing and the linear relationship between peak current and sweep rate are as follows: Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown.
[0166] According to the Randles-Sovcik equation shown in equation (Ⅰ) and Figure 8 and Figure 9 The electrochemical active areas of CuO and CuO@In2O3 were calculated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) results.
[0167]
[0168] In the Randles-Sovcik equation shown in equation (Ⅰ), I represents the reduction peak current, and A represents the electrochemical active area to be calculated (cm²). 2 D represents the diffusion coefficient of K3[Fe(CN)6] at room temperature, which is approximately 6.70 × 10⁻⁶. -6 cm 2 s -1 n1 represents the number of electrons transferred, n2 represents the scan rate, and c represents the concentration of the K3[Fe(CN)6] solution.
[0169] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As can be seen from the results, the linear fitting equations based on the CV test results are I = 228.98n. 1 / 2 +9.61 and I = 273.17n 1 / 2 +2.66. Based on the slope of the linear fitting equation, the A values of CuO and CuO@In2O3 can be calculated to be 6.58 mm. 2 and 7.85 mm 2 This indicates a certain increase in the electrochemical active area. Furthermore, the stronger current response value also indicates an increase in electron transfer rate and enhanced catalytic performance.

[0171] 5.1) Polish the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with alumina powder, then drop 10 µL of a 0.8 mg / mL solution onto the electrode surface. -1 The CuO@In2O3-Ab1 PBS (pH 7.4) solution prepared in Example 4 was used to perform monolayer modification on the electrode surface, and then incubated at 4 °C for 2 h. After modification, the electrode surface was rinsed with PBS solution (pH 7.4) to remove unbound substances or biomolecules, resulting in the CuO@In2O3-Ab1 / GCE electrode (b).
[0172] 5.2) Polish the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with alumina powder, then drop 10 µL of a 0.8 mg / mL solution onto the electrode surface. -1The CuO@In2O3-Ab1 PBS (pH 7.4) solution prepared in Example 4 was then used to add 3 µL of 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) PBS (pH 7.4) solution to the electrode surface to perform two-layer modification of the electrode surface. The electrode was then incubated at 4 °C for 2 h. After each layer modification, the electrode surface was rinsed with PBS solution (pH 7.4) to remove unbound substances or biomolecules, resulting in the BSA / CuO@In2O3-Ab1 / GCE electrode (c).
[0173] 5.3) Polish the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with alumina powder, then drop 10 µL of a 0.8 mg / mL solution onto the electrode surface. -1 The CuO@In2O3-Ab1 PBS (pH 7.4) solution prepared in Example 4 was then used to sequentially add 3 µL of 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) PBS (pH 7.4) solution and 5 µL of CA19-9 antigen to the electrode surface to perform a three-layer modification. The electrode surface was then incubated at 4 °C for 2 h. After each layer modification, the electrode surface was rinsed with PBS solution (pH 7.4) to remove unbound substances or biomolecules, resulting in the CA19-9 / BSA / CuO@In2O3-Ab1 / GCE electrode (d).
[0174] Ag / AgCl and Pt were used as the reference electrode and counter electrode, respectively. An unmodified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) (a), CuO@In2O3-Ab1 / GCE electrodes prepared with different modification layers (b), BSA / CuO@In2O3-Ab1 / GCE electrodes (c), CA19-9 / BSA / CuO@In2O3-Ab1 / GCE electrodes (d), or the ECL immunosensor constructed in Example 5 (e) were used as working electrodes for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests. The parameters set during the tests were as follows: photomultiplier tube high voltage of 600 V, voltage scan range of -0.20 ~ 0.6 V, and scan rate of 0.1 V s. -1 The test solution was 10 mL of KCl (0.1 mol / L). -1 ) and K2S2O8 (120 mmol L -1 A mixed PBS solution (pH 7.4). Results are as follows. Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown.
[0175] Figure 10 and Figure 11In the diagram, the black curve corresponds to the measurement results of the unmodified glassy carbon electrode (a) as the working electrode; the red curve corresponds to the measurement results of the monolayer modified CuO@In2O3-Ab1 / GCE electrode (b) as the working electrode; the blue curve corresponds to the measurement results of the bilayer modified BSA / CuO@In2O3-Ab1 / GCE electrode (c) as the working electrode; the green curve corresponds to the measurement results of the trilayer modified CA19-9 / BSA / CuO@In2O3-Ab1 / GCE electrode (d) as the working electrode; and the purple curve corresponds to the measurement results of the four-layer modified ECL immunosensor (e) constructed in Example 5 as the working electrode, i.e., the measurement results of the ECL immunosensor constructed in Example 5 as the working electrode.
[0176] from Figure 10 It can be seen that after modifying the electrode surface with CuO@In2O3-Ab1, the peak current of its cyclic voltammetry (CV) curve is significantly lower than that of the bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE), and the redox potential also changes. Furthermore, with the layer-by-layer modification of BSA, CA19-9, and Cu:Gd MOF-Ab2, electron transfer is hindered, and the peak current gradually decreases, proving the successful construction of the sensor. Meanwhile, from... Figure 11 The results of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test show that, due to the poor conductivity of biomacromolecules and their conjugates, the impedance value gradually increases during the layer-by-layer modification process, which also verifies the successful construction of the sensor.

[0187] 7) Research on ECL mechanisms
[0188] The aforementioned studies on the photoluminescence properties of Gd MOF and Cu:Gd MOF demonstrated the existence of energy transfer from the ligand to the central ion (antenna effect) and the sensitization effect of Cu doping in MOF, which effectively enhances the luminescence intensity. Although the excitation methods of photoluminescence and electroluminescence are different, the energy transition mode and the result of photons emitted from the excited state returning to the ground state generally do not change much. Therefore, further research is needed on the ECL mechanism of the materials.
[0189] Specifically:
[0190] The glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was polished with alumina powder, and then 10 µL of a 1.5 mg / mL solution was dropped onto the electrode surface. -1 The Gd MOF aqueous solution prepared in S2 of Example 1 was used to modify the electrode surface as a monolayer. Then, it was incubated at 4 °C for 2 h. After modification, the electrode surface was rinsed with PBS solution (pH 7.4) to remove unbound substances, and the Gd MOF electrode was obtained.
[0191] The glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was polished with alumina powder, and then 10 µL of a 1.5 mg / mL solution was dropped onto the electrode surface. -1 The Cu:Gd MOF aqueous solution prepared in Example 1 was used to modify the electrode surface as a monolayer. The electrode was then incubated at 4 °C for 2 h. After modification, the electrode surface was rinsed with PBS solution (pH 7.4) to remove unbound substances, thus obtaining the Cu:Gd MOF electrode.
[0192] The glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was polished with alumina powder, and then 10 µL of a 0.8 mg / mL solution was sequentially added to the electrode surface. -1 The CuO aqueous solution prepared in Comparative Example 1 and 10 µL of a solution with a concentration of 1.5 mg / mL were compared. -1The Cu:Gd MOF aqueous solution prepared in Example 1 was used to modify the electrode surface in two layers. Then, it was incubated at 4 °C for 2 h. After modification, the electrode surface was rinsed with PBS solution (pH 7.4) to remove unbound substances, thus obtaining the CuO / Cu:Gd MOF electrode.
[0193] The glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was polished with alumina powder, and then 10 µL of a 0.8 mg / mL solution was sequentially added to the electrode surface. -1 The CuO@In2O3 aqueous solution prepared in Example 3 and 10 µL of a solution with a concentration of 1.5 mg / mL -1 The Cu:Gd MOF aqueous solution prepared in Example 1 was used to modify the electrode surface in two layers. Then, it was incubated at 4 °C for 2 h. After modification, the electrode surface was rinsed with PBS solution (pH 7.4) to remove unbound substances, thus obtaining the CuO@In2O3 / Cu:Gd MOF electrode.
[0194] Ag / AgCl and Pt were used as the reference and counter electrodes, respectively, and the Gd MOF electrode, Cu:Gd MOF electrode, CuO / Cu:Gd MOF electrode, and CuO@In2O3 / Cu:Gd MOF electrode prepared above were used as the working electrodes. The parameters set during the test were as follows: photomultiplier tube high voltage of 600 V, voltage scan range of -2 ~ 0 V, and scan rate of 0.1 V s. -1 .
[0195] At a pH of 7.4, 10 mL of solution had a concentration of 120 mmol / L. -1 ECL testing was performed on K2S2O in PBS solution, and the results are as follows: Figure 13 As shown in A.
[0196] from Figure 13 As shown in Figure A, curve a, representing the Gd MOF, exhibits a relatively weak signal intensity (1500 au), while curve b, representing the Cu:Gd MOF, shows a signal enhancement of 3 times (6000 au). After modification with CuO, the signal of curve c, representing the CuO / Cu:Gd MOF, is further enhanced, while after modification with CuO@In2O3, the signal of curve d, representing the CuO@In2O3 / Cu:Gd MOF, is the strongest, reaching almost 18000 au.
[0197] The test results in pure PBS solution are as follows: Figure 13 As shown in C.
[0198] from Figure 13As shown in Figure C, the ECL signals of Cu:Gd MOF represented by curve a, CuO / Cu:Gd MOF represented by curve b, and CuO@In2O3 / Cu:Gd MOF represented by curve c are all very low and do not show significant enhancement. This indicates that K2S2O8 is an indispensable co-reactant for ECL, and the catalytic effect of CuO and CuO@In2O3 only acts on K2S2O8, not Cu:Gd MOF.
[0199] Further CV testing was conducted, and the results were as follows: Figure 13 As shown in B.
[0200] from Figure 13 As can be seen from curve B, curve a, representing Gd MOF, has a relatively broad K2S2O8 reduction peak, while curve b, representing Cu:Gd MOF, shows a change compared to this curve, with a significant positive shift in the K2S2O8 reduction peak. This indicates that copper doping has an effect, promoting the reduction of K2S2O8. Furthermore, from... Figure 13 As can be seen from B, the reduction peaks of the CV curves of CuO / Cu:Gd MOF represented by curve c and CuO@In2O3 / Cu:Gd MOF represented by curve d also shifted slightly positively, indicating that the change in the valence state of Cu and In in the material catalyzed the reduction of K2S2O8 to a certain extent and enhanced the ECL signal.
[0201] Comparison of ECL spectra of Gd MOF represented by curve a and Cu:Gd MOF represented by curve b, for example Figure 13 As shown in D.
[0202] from Figure 13 As can be seen from D, the emission wavelength range of both did not change significantly, but the emission intensity increased significantly, indicating that Cu doping did not change the ECL properties of Gd MOF, and it is highly likely that it acted on the co-reactant K2S2O8.
[0203] Based on the above results, it can be concluded that the ECL mechanism of the sensor is related to the light enhancement mechanism as follows: Figure 13 As shown in E. Specifically, as the potential decreases, S2O8 2- Gaining an electron produces a small amount of and SO4 2- (Path 1). Afterwards, Cu 2+ / Cu + and In 3+ / In 2+ Two redox pairs accelerated The formation of Cu. In short, Cu 2+ / In 3+ Electrons can be trapped on the electrode surface to generate Cu. + / In 2+Then with S2O8 2- The reaction yielded a large amount ( Figure 13 The orange color in E (path 2). Furthermore, OH can be generated through a series of redox reactions. • Afterwards, the generated OH... • With S2O8 2- Further reactions generate more ( Figure 13 (Blue in E, path 3). For the ECL emission process, Cu:Gd MOF first gains electrons at the electrode surface to generate Cu. + and Then Cu + Promote S2O8 2- The restoration generates more ( Figure 13 The yellow part in E (path 4). and The reaction produces Gd MOF*, and finally, the generated Gd MOF* transitions back to the ground state and produces a photon.

[0214] 8) Sensor detection performance
[0215] Under optimal testing conditions, namely the ECL immunosensor prepared in Example 5, the electrolyte concentration was 120 mmol / L. -1 The test was conducted using K2S2O8 in PBS (pH 7.4) solution to obtain ECL intensity-time curves for different concentrations of CA19-9. The results are as follows: Figure 14As shown in Figure A, the ECL signal increases with the increase of CA19-9 concentration.
[0216] Further, the calibration curve for CA19-9 detection was obtained, from... Figure 14 As can be seen from B, at 0.5 mU / mL -1 ~ 100U mL -1 Within the range, ECL intensity and the logarithm of CA19-9 concentration showed a good linear relationship (I = 2162 lg c + 4456, R). 2 = 0.997). Compared with existing sensors (see Table 2), the constructed ECL immunosensor achieves sensitive analysis of CA19-9 over a wider linear range, and the calculated limit of detection is as low as 82.3 µU / mL. -1 (S / N = 3).
[0217] To verify the stability of the sensor, 12 consecutive cycles of scanning were performed on one electrode, and the results were as follows: Figure 14 As shown in C, the peak intensity of ECL in each period has small differences, and its RSD is calculated to be 2.06%, indicating that the sensor has good stability.
[0218] The selectivity of the ECL immune sensor was studied by testing the ECL response to CA19-9 and other interfering agents. The results are as follows: Figure 14 As shown in D. From Figure 14 As can be seen from D, the ECL responses of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) are close to the ECL signals of the blank sample, while the ECL response of the mixed sample is almost identical to that of CA19-9 (5 U / mL). -1 The presence of CA19-9+ (10 times the concentration of interfering substances) indicates that the sensor has good selectivity.
[0219] Under the same conditions, the ECL signals of six ECL immunosensors prepared using the method described in Example 5, respectively, were detected as working electrodes to study the reproducibility of the biosensors. The results are as follows: Figure 14 As shown in E, the results obtained have only minor differences.
[0220] The storage stability of the ECL immune sensor was tested, and the results are as follows: Figure 14 As shown in F, after 12 days of storage at 4°C, the ECL signal only decreased by 22.6% of the initial value, demonstrating good storage stability.
[0221] In summary, this invention fully demonstrates that the biosensor constructed in this invention exhibits excellent ECL performance and can be used for trace detection of the target CA19-9.
[0222] Table 2 compares the performance of CA19-9 detection with other literature.
[0223]
[0224] 9) Serum sample analysis
[0225] Human serum samples were selected as the initial samples. Different concentrations of CA19-9 were added to the initial human serum samples using a standard addition-recovery method. After five tests on each spiked sample using the ECL sensor prepared in Example 5, the average detection concentration of the target was calculated. The recovery rate and RSD were then calculated based on the obtained detection concentrations to analyze the accuracy and precision of the biosensor in serum sample detection. As shown in Table 3, the recovery rate and RSD ranged from 98.6% to 102% and 0.86% to 1.07%, respectively, indicating that the ECL biosensor constructed in this invention has good accuracy and precision in serum sample analysis and has certain clinical application value.
[0226] Table 3 shows the application of the constructed ECL immunosensor in serum sample analysis.
[0227]
[0228] In summary, this invention investigated the electrochemiluminescence behavior of Gd MOF and Cu:Gd MOF. As a lanthanide MOF material, Gd MOF exhibits an antenna effect, enabling energy transfer from ligands to the metal center ion, and thus possesses excellent PL and ECL properties. Cu doping effectively shortens the charge transfer distance and accelerates the electron transfer rate, significantly enhancing the electrochemiluminescence intensity of Gd MOF. Furthermore, CuO@In2O3 was synthesized as a co-reaction promoter to construct Cu:Gd MOF / S2O8. 2- The / CuO@In2O3 ternary system further enhanced the ECL signal. By monitoring changes in ECL intensity, the target analyte CA19-9 can be quantitatively detected, i.e., CA19-9 can be quantified through ECL signal enhancement. This study demonstrates the potential of Gd MOFs for electrochemiluminescence, which to some extent broadens the application and development of metal-doped lanthanide MOFs in the ECL field. Furthermore, the constructed enhanced ECL immunosensor achieves the goal of high-level analysis using biosensors.
